Starting Your Own Mystery Shopping Business:
What's In It For You?
A popular question I am asked by both experienced and newbie mystery shoppers with entrepreneurial minds, is "what does it take to start my own mystery shopping business?" The answer is that it is very much like starting up any small business, except for the particular nuances of the mystery shopping field.
However, unlike many small businesses, your customers are not consumers like yourself, which is often easier for a new business owner. Your business will work to serve other business owners and managers in the retail, real estate and service categories.
Before going into any business, it's always a good idea to really figure out what's in it for you. Here are the eight pluses:
1. This can easily be a home-based business where you can set your own hours.
2. You are cutting out the middleman (or woman), and keeping a larger percentage of the shop fees earned.
3. You may not have to perform actual mystery shopping work yourself any longer.
4. You are your own boss.
5. The upfront investment is minimal.
6. You'll easily find lots of shoppers willing to do the work for your company.
7. There is no limit to the amount of money you can make. How successful you are depends on your efforts and ability to build your business, as well as how effectively you manage expenses and cash flow.
8. Unlike being a mystery shopper, as a mystery shopping business owner, how much you can earn is not limited by geography. Even if you and your business are located in a small town, with the internet, phone and fax, you can serve clients around the corner, or around the world!
I strongly recommend that anyone interested in pursuing their own mystery shopping business, first have some experience as a mystery shopper. While it is not mandatory, you will have a huge advantage, because in my opinion, there is no substitute for having first-hand experience before sending out others to do the work for which you are hiring them, and prior to approaching potential clients.
